Meaning & Origin of Halla
Meaning: Rock, flat stone or hill.
Origin: Old Norse/Icelandic.
A common claim: Sometimes glossed as "half-grown" in addition to "rock." Actually: "Half-grown" doesn't match either documented origin (Old Norse hallr, 'rock/hill,' or the unrelated modern Finnish coinage) and appears unsupported.
